Hi, folks! More monster spam from me! This is the last of the batch I mixed up this weekend, and I saved it for last because it didn't have much of a niche to fit into. It's sort of a silly little low-level critter, but for some reason, I couldn't just *not* do it. So I present...

Though they aren't true mustelids, morphic minks share their particular love of sneakiness and mischief. They are fun loving, easy-going creatures that reward those creatures which treat them with kindness - usually with the valuables of those that are cruel to them. Despite their child-like behavoir, however, they are quite intelligence and possessed of a clear wisdom free of the taint of civilization. They take great delight in assuming the forms of many small animals and interacting with all manner of humanoids to test their good will and generosity. Those who are especially mean are treated to the other uses of the morphic mink's abilites, for these adorable little creatures double as fantastic thieves.
In its natural form, the morphic mink is a small quadroped that appears to be - of course - a mink, though the color of its fur ranges between many bizarre, seemingly random colors, including purple, green, pink, and orange. Though they prefer to go on all fours, they are just as capable of moving on their hind-legs, leaving their forepaws free to cart off the treasures of the cruel and greedy.
COMBAT
A morphic mink never fights, except perhaps to hunt small prey in times of desperate need. Instead, they usually choose to flee, assuming any flying, climbing, or swimming form they need to effect their escape.
Morph (Su): At will, a morphic mink can assume the shape of any non-magical animal of Diminutive to Small size, as per the spell polymorph self, except that the mink can maintain the assumed form indefinitely. It can choose a new form or resume its own as a standard action.
* I was also thinking that morphic minks might make good familiars for higher level wizards, but wasn't sure what level the wizard would have to be to attract a morphic mink as a familiar. Any helpful suggestions?
